Mother and daughter reborn and swap bodies, both of them went crazy

In a spacious courtyard of a private house somewhere in Kyoto.

Sheng Minmin sat in the upper seat, Qingchi and Xiangxiang stood beside.

At the door directly opposite, there were more than 20 sturdy women holding sticks guarding the door.

In the middle of the yard, there were a dozen trembling stewards kneeling, and an empty space among them was filled with bright red, pungent blood.

Anyone could see that Sheng Minmin had just punished someone who was disobedient.

This story begins a few days ago.

A few days ago, the stewards suddenly received an order from the mistress of the house, saying that there was an important matter to discuss and they had to go to the capital as quickly as possible. If they failed to do so, they would have to give up their steward positions.

The stewards had no time to prepare and hurriedly got on the carriage to Kyoto.

As soon as they arrived in Kyoto and entered the city gate, they were "invited" by the servants of the mansion to a house outside the mansion. They thought that the lady sympathized with them and let them rest for a while.

When they reacted, they found that the door and windows of the room were sealed and they were trapped in the room and couldn't get out.

Only one bowl of water and one steamed bun every day.

These managers already had something to hide, and after their freedom was restricted, they could not get any information, and no one talked to them.

They became more and more frightened, and lived in terror day and night in the cramped room.

After being detained for only one day, someone went crazy and knelt down crying and begging for forgiveness from the lady, saying that he was willing to confess his crime.

Sheng Minmin had them detained for another two days. Only when all the managers were on the verge of collapse did she ask them to write a confession in person and sign it.

At this time, the confession letter was placed on the tea table to the right of Sheng Minmin.

She had calculated long ago that the managers of these manors had embezzled more than 5 taels of silver, and the total amount reported by the managers matched this number.

But she didn't expect that in addition to corruption, the two managers were so bold as to forcibly occupy the daughter of a local tenant farmer.

Sheng Minmin could tolerate these people being a little greedy, but she could not tolerate anyone abusing their power and taking advantage of innocent women on her farm.

So he had the two managers beaten with 50 sticks in front of the other managers, and the two scums were beaten until their skin was torn and blood was dripping. Before they died, he sent servants to send them to the yamen.

This scene almost scared the rest of the managers out of their wits.

"Everyone get up!

"You have been managing the farm for me for many years, and it has been hard work. I was negligent in not providing you with a good reward mechanism in the past."

Sheng Minmin's voice was somewhat casual, yet had a kind of majesty.

The stewards turned even paler and their mouths tasted bitter.

They were almost going crazy after being locked up for a few days. Just now, the lady almost beat two people to death in front of them. Now the lady held their confession letters and said she would reward them. They just felt a chill on their necks...

They also once again deeply realized that the lady was no longer the kind and easy-to-control lady she used to be.

The yard was silent and no one dared to speak.

"I have set targets for you based on the income of each farm in the past 10 years. In the future, if the annual income of the farms and forests you manage exceeds the target I set, I will give you % of the increase as a reward."

Sheng Minmin signaled Xiangxiang with her eyes, and Xiangxiang took the prepared things to show the managers, on which were written the goals of their management of the manor.

These managers are all smart people. They can tell at a glance that the goal is not demanding and can be achieved with a little effort.

If they work harder, can they really get 3% of the extra money?

A glimmer of spirit returned to the stewards' eyes.

Madam, are you not going to punish them?

Instead of punishing them severely, they are given a chance to make money?

A brave steward finally stood up shakily and mustered up the courage to ask, "Madam, are you serious?"

Sheng Minmin narrowed her eyes slightly, "Why, do you think I'm idle and have time to joke with you?"

The manager was stunned for a moment, his face showing ecstasy, and the other managers were the same.

It's like a group of criminals who were supposed to be sent to the guillotine were acquitted and got a good opportunity to make money.

After the managers stood up one by one and became excited, someone thought of another question.

"Madam, will our fixed monthly salary be reduced? And what if the harvest is lower than the target set by Madam?"

"The fixed monthly salary remains unchanged. If there are natural disasters or man-made disasters in the year, the target can be reduced as appropriate."

“But if it weren’t for natural disasters and man-made calamities, there would be no reward for that year if the goal was not achieved.

"If he fails to achieve the goal three times in 10 years, I will remove him from his position and replace him with someone else!"

If you want to keep your job and get the 30% bonus on added value grain, you must complete the task every year except in years of natural disasters and man-made calamities.

The smiles on the stewards' faces faded a little, but when they saw the "confession" on the lady's desk above, they had no choice but to accept it.

Anyway, the goal that the lady set for them was not too difficult.

When Sheng Minmin saw the expressions of the crowd, she knew that they all accepted it.

When she checked the accounts, she discovered that Huang Yaning had never sent any of his confidants to visit the farm secretly in the past 10 years.

The annual prices of grain, fruits and vegetables have never been recorded, and almost everything the managers say is the final word.

Should she say that Huang Yaning is rich and powerful and looks down on the trivial things in the village, or should she say that Huang Yaning is stupid and has a lot of money?

Her current strength is not enough for her to replace the managers of 10 manors at the same time.

Therefore, Sheng Minmin did not intend to kill all the other corrupt managers except the two who raped the peasant girls.

She wanted to hold these people's confessions and give the managers a good opportunity to make money openly.

She used both soft and hard tactics, and she believed that the managers were smart people and would do their best.

These techniques of controlling subordinates were taught to her by Nanny Wang in her previous life.

As expected, the managers were already kneeling on the ground, kowtowed, and said nice words for free.

Seeing that the problem was solved, Sheng Minmin asked everyone to have their meal and wash up before setting off to go back.

She also asked Qingying to prepare generous gifts and go to the two farms in person to appease and compensate the two defiled women and their families.

Only after everything was arranged did Sheng Minmin take the carriage back home.

Now in the Sheng Mansion, Sheng Minmin's prestige is being established at a speed visible to the naked eye.

What the servants have seen recently is that the Madam has punished her own children whom she loves like treasures.

Later, because of Tao Niang's corruption, many "slaves" were sold out without hesitation.

It's easy to imagine that the slaves who were sold out had a hard time, but the lady had no mercy on them.

Then, the Sixth Miss's injury was traced back to Tao Niang, and the lady punished Tao Niang by making her kneel on broken porcelain for an hour, and then said she had to continue kneeling for ten more days.

Tao Niang was so frightened that she fainted. When she was carried out, I heard that blood from her knees was dripping all the way.

The lady did not exempt Tao Niang from punishment, but only asked her to heal her wounds first. She could continue to kneel after she recovered, but she could only kneel on the floor in the future.

Everyone knew that even if Tao Niang's knee didn't break immediately, it would break sooner or later.

Madam is now ruthless and hard-hearted, which is really scary.
